When I do sendmail xxx at yyy.ca I can compose the note but when I do a control-z to send it I get the message 1 stopped job sendmail Some background. I decided to try the Courier mail system. At first it seemed good but as I read, I became less taken with it. It has a nice configuration web interface, but I don't care for its mailing list manager. I couldn't get outlook express to sign on to its pop server. I began to realize that I was having more success with exim. The problem of sendmail not working started after I moved to Courier. Now that I removed all of Courier and installed exim, the problem is still hear. I'm not testing anything else until I get to the bottom of this. I don't know how to investigate a process that gets stopped. Where do I look for the error? This is probably simple, but not to me.
